01. Do not be on Riddims
Riddims will not make you a name instead people will only listen to the already known big artists and the unknown will be refereed to as "Vamwe vapfanha (Some other youngsters)" eg people may say "On one clan riddim there is Winkyy Dee, Sniper Storm nevamwe vapfanha (Some othe youngsters)"Riddims are also not good for established artists, all 2014 and 2015 Winky Dee and even Sniper where on most riddims but all those riddims did not give them a hit, Winky Dee then worked on a project with Exclusive beats and everyone went crazsy, Even the previous Killer Tee Album, he was on exclusive beats and Killer Tee rocked all year 2015
02.Avoid collaborations with known Artists of same genre as yours
The big artist will outshine you because he has fans alreadyThe artist might be fading and people tired of his sound, People want new sound and new artists always, the moment you associate yourself with a fading artists you become one of them.
How many artists who where made by collaborations do you know?
Rather if you are a dancehall artist do a collabo with someone from a different genre, eg Tally Bee was engaged by Ngoni Kambarami on Zvaundiiita so, only one verse made Tally Bee a big name, Now how many guys did collaborations with the likes on Kinna, Soul Jah Love, Calaz, etc? How many Made it?
03.Invest in a minimum of 3 Superb Quality Videos
Video is the most efficient marketing medium
The videos have to be creative and catchy, Invest well and rehearse hard till your act is all perfect
04.Be Unique and creative
Do something that no other artist has ever produced before, New beat, new lyrics, new soundZimbabwe have a tendency of imitating who ever is on hit, Remember when Rokis Chidzoka was a hit, everybody started to sound rumba like, Then The Stunner Era, everybody started to sound like Stunner, now everybody is trying to be on a Naija Beat
05.Sing relevant music that people can relate too
Sing feel good music for club
Sing about a newly trending hot topic, don't sing about an already fading or exhausted trend,
eg Winky Dee's song Disappear is relating to the nowadays popular prosperity gospel
06.Polish your work
Nigerians rarely release albums but they spend their time working on a bis single club banger, it takes only one song to make an Artists entire career. advice , around the world , celebrity , How to , Top Trending
